.357 Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 Wouldn't Portz's ppg in the USHL be somewhat skewed because he was in the NAHL part of this year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJS Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 Central Scouting midterm rankings have been released. https://www.nhl.com/news/central-scouting-north-american-midterm-nhl-draft-ranking/c-313771208?tid=277764372 N/A rankings: 11. Sanderson 44. Kleven 48. Miller 77. Bowen 113. Kunz 178. Halliday A lot can still change, but this is the first real look at where players line up for the draft.

Brett0909 Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 Interesting that for various reasons, Berry and crew continue to pick up more elite (by draft standards) players at defense. Top three guys are defenseman in midterms, after Tychonick and JBD topping the group in 18’. I know Halliday had much higher expectations and obviously Pinto is a stud, but he was more of a diamond in the rough who likely developed into more than expected. Not complaining as these are great classes regardless, but thoughts on why Berry seems to have a bit more success at recruiting top talent on backend? Avoiding one and done’s? Slightly better reputation for developing defenseman or more desirable systems? Better eye for recruiting them? Pure coincidence? Good to see Kunz hasn’t completely fallen off the radar despite injury and other struggles and hopefully Halliday can start performing closer to his talent level if he can get his compete level up. Solid class With ability to quickly contribute, regardless! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solid class With ability to quickly contribute, regardless! I’ve watched Kunz this year, he’s really good...at times during the Elite League he was absolutely toying around out there. Has a lazy stride but his stick handling/shot are elite. I was shocked he wasn’t rated higher. But he is playing prep as opposed to junior A during his draft year so.... Halliday is streaky. Has disappeared for large stretches this year and then came on strong. Has to have a big second half. I’ve read his skating is iffy. Not bad if we’re looking for a 4 year player 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
